    By Georgia Osten Another glorious day at the beach, if you’re under a canopy or out in the water. I take that back, treading out to the second sand bar is always a little scary if you ask me, I can’t believe I did it all on my own.

  • Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

    By Brenda Cannon Henley I saw someone do something really dumb the other day, but it wasn’t my circus and they weren’t my monkeys, so I could not do anything to help other than pray for a decent outcome.
